Another weekend down

About 23 more to go!! Jacob & I had a great weekend! My mom, dad, uncle & fiance, and cousin all came in for the weekend. It was great having the house full. I could actually sleep! I wasn't scared. Dad and I did yard work on Saturday. It wasn't that bad having someone help me do it and finish it all in one day instead of the 3 days it takes me by myself. My mom stocked the house up with food and left me with tons of tempting chocolate treats. I'm trying not to be too tempted. I've already lost 6 pounds since Aaron has been gone. I'm going to be rocking a skinny body by the time he gets back! That's my goal at least.


Jacob had a blast this weekend. Grandma & Grandpa came with tons of gifts and clothes for him. He's one spoiled little man. He loved getting attention from everyone. He's a pretty happy man for the most part. But lately his teeth have been giving him some more problems. I think he may be getting another tooth in. He's been chewing like crazy on things. Last night I thought he was going to try to give me a kiss and instead he bit my face. Those two little teeth he has now are sharp!! It actually hurt! Every day he seems to get more and more interested in real food. I think I might have to start giving him actual solids soon. He is a monster for baby solid food. He even stars me down for my cup. I let him "try" to drink water from my cup. He has a sippy but doesn't really like it unless you hold it up for him. He's lazy!



A little update on the phone...for some reason our phone/internet company is really terrible at service. I called the company to find out what was going on because that whole night the phone continued to go on and off. I was up at 4 am freaking out b/c the phone didn't work again. The company said they were doing routine maintenance in the area. That has continued to go on for a few nights. The only reason we got a land line was so I could have a phone incase of emergencies. We don't get really good cell service where we are at, so I figured the house phone would always be available. But not with this company. Thankfully our contract is only 6 months, and after that we are going to switch.


After all the scares and the numberous werido's coming to my door, we have decided to get a security system put in. It's getting installed later today! I was so hesitant because I hate spending money. But after calling the company, I found out we get an amazing deal because we are member of USAA. It was installed on Tuesday and I have already set it off by accident. Thankfully I was able to turn it off in time. I have little reminders on the doors now to turn it off before going outside. I have to get used to doing that. It's a little nice to know that if someone comes in I will be able to hear them and the police will come. I don't think I'll ever get used to a quiet house without Aaron. Only 5 more months left!


This Saturday will be 4 weeks down! Yay! One month closer to Aaron coming back! We have been very lucky and have been able to chat with him almost daily. Jacob loves seeing his daddy on the web cam. He even smiles just hearing his daddy's voice on the phone. He's so freaking cute. I can't believe how fast he is growing.


Here are some new pics...



This is what I saw when I went to check on him after his nap...


For being stuck, he wasn't that unhappy.






Jacob on game day...UGA vs. Oklahoma


He loves his new fruit thing...he can eat frozen fruit through this mesh chewer. Great for his teething issue! His favorite is strawberries! Yummy!

Peaches...mmmm...good!


He was back crawling and finally learned how to sit up on his own. Now if only he can learn to crawl forward!
